Death of MO. 0. W. Sees.
It is with unfeigned regret that we announce,
this afternoon, the death of Maj. Oliver W.
Sees, Chief of Transportation and Telegraphing,
in connection with the Government of the
State of Pennsylvania. He died at seven o'clock
this morning, after a severe illness of many
weeks, in the twenty-eighth 3 ear of his ago.
It is not our purpose to write a labored pane_
gyric of the deceased, nor to claim for him vir
tues, to embellish his memory, which he did not
practice while he lived. Yet those who knew
Major Sees white he lived and moved among
men in the active pursuit of his profession, or
the discharge of the high official duties which
devolved upon him almost up to the time of his
death, will admit that he possessed extraor
dinary pow ers of mind. Had his physical ca
pacity been equal to his mental ability, he would
have lived to become one of the most useful
men in the country. From his early youth he
was Identified with the telegraphic business of
the State. We may in fact write that lte.giew
up •wi , .h that vast enterprise, so that wherever
over the Commonwealth a wire flashed Its mes
sages of business and politics, the victories and
defeats of war, his name was as familiarly known
as the sound of the clicking battery.
As Chief of Telegraphing and Transportation,
Maj. Sees was charged with the moat important
business connected with the military operations
of the Commonwealth. Themovement of troops,
the transportation of stores, the removal of sick
and wounded, the sending home of the dead
bodies of our heroes, with the transmission of
confidential orders and correspondence by tele
graph, were under his immediate , control': 'How
well these duties were discharged, the commen
dation of the Heads of the different Departments
have frequently testified, while the confidence
and esteem in which he was personally held by
the Governor of the Commonwealth, indicate
his professional worth and personal merit.
—We might write more in relation to the
deceased, and if it were proper to express here
our own high regard for the man while. he
lived, we could fill columns with the confession
of our own deep regret at his death. But such
expressions would be superfluous now. Com
mendation cannot sooth the cold ear of death.
And yet with more besides ourselves—with the
men who were in active intercourse with Maj.
Sees while he lived, his memory will always be
held in honorable recollection. Though he_did
not fall amid the carnage of battle, his death
was as much a sacrifice in the service of his
country as if he had been borne horde a bloody
corpse from the field of war. Let this be his
epitaph!
Another Prop Gone.
We are gratified to learn from Mr. Theodore 1
Adams, who has just arrived 'here froze Wash
ington city, that our old townsman, Michael
Burke,has firmly resolved not to eupportany man
for Governor of Pennsylvania whom Jeff. Davis
would like to see elected, and hence he is couz
strained by his conscience and his loyalty to
oppose Woodward and vote for Curtin. Mr.
Burke has heretofore been one of the. Most ef
fective and zealous adherents of the Democratic
organization, and still claims to be es pure a
Democrat as there is in. the Union, but his good
judgment and pure patriotism will not allow
him to sustain a mere party when all the inter
eet of his country demand his support In ancither
direction. It is unnecessary for us to write
how much we admire the independence of such
men, but it Is necessary for us • to declare -that
the State of Pennsylvania looks to such men•
for service and support in this the hour of peril
to all its interests. Thus the honest and true
men of the Democratic organization are aban
doning its heresies and espousing the cause of
the Union and the Constitution, as they are re
presented by Andrew G. Curtin, and repudiating
the appeals of treason, as they are made in the
efforts to_elect George W. Woodward Governor.
of Pennsylvania.
TEE TORY Oao.abr, a little less than a week
back, insisted that Col. MacDowell's Democra
cy was unquestionable, yet yesterday morn i ng
it abused him for having made that Democracy
the (motive for espousing the cause of the
ouuntry. Will nothing please -the -2bry Organ
but fealty to the interests of the slave-breeding
ttaltors? Can friend Barrett fiddle an art
swer to this queetion from the spirits.
A Significant F'aet in Proof of Copper
head Sympathy for Treason.
o,lz, of t',e moat extra - trdinary p0L , ,;i0..s of
pAtti,. Noah and South, that assumed bg
the fri.mds. of Woodward in Pounsylvmaitt, and
the friends of the Union and Constitution in
Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and the most
flourishing part of Virginia. In the States
named, slavery wielded a potent influence be
fore the rebellion was precipitated. Its social and
political pt eatige was then irresistible. The pul
pit, the press, the bar and the rostrum, were all
more or less, controlled by the upholders of
the "peculiar institution," until the minds of
the people were completely impregnated with
the heresies which such a despotism taught,
and until the atrocities which it practised were
regarded as the mildest and only fit form of
government calculated properly to control
labor. But after the rebellion was organized,
the people of the States named at once took,
what was to them, novel grounds, and im
diately announced their antagonism to slavery.
They had seen the first workings of the con
spiracy—they had noted the zeal with which
the slaveholder entered on the war of rebellion
—they had observed the ferocity with which all
who opposed rebellion were assailed by the
slave-breeder—and in that light, the truly loyal
men of Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee, and a
large portion of Virginia, resolved to make the
overthrow of slavery the main compensation of
the war against the slave-holders' rebellion for
the overthrow of the Government. And thus
resolved, the people in the States named, be
cause they knew all about the wickedness of
slavery, are now more intensely "abolition" in
their feeling than are the people of famous
Massachusetts, whom some of the copperheads
desire to leave out in the cold when reconstruc
tion becomes the business of the nation.
Now, in contrast with this position of the
truly, loyal men in the slave States referred to,
we have the attitude of Woodward and his
friends in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania the
leaders who support Woodward, are all pro
slavery men. They believe in and defend sla
very as a social, moral and political'institution
of ineffable goodness and economy. Woodward
insists that the rights of slavery are - so sacred
as to justify those who have money invested in
the negro's flesh, to rebel against the National
Government, to dissolve the National Union,
and destroy the National Constitution. He
insists that to thank against slavery si a ria—To
TALK AGAINI3r BLATBRY id A ORM. Why do the
political friends of WoOdWard act thus in direct
opposition to the hiyal men of the South I
Why do ihe Democratic leaders in the North
thus defend slavery, while the loyal men of the
South regard that institution as the cause of the
rebellion, and have decided that slavery must
perish? To all these questions there is only one
answer. Woodward and his friends are the
sympathizers with slavery because slavery is the
main stay and prop of -the rebellion. If it
were not, Woodward and his friends would not
give slavery a single word of defence. There
is a vast deal of good common sense in these
facts, and we want thinking-men in the State
of Pennsylvania to give them their full con
sideration.
A Nut for CopperhoUds to Crack.
The momenta Union man, a'citizen of a slave
&ate, can break from the grasp of the despotism
now ruling in the South, he seeks some locality
where he can give utterance to his love for the
Government and his abhorrence for the con
spirators whe are fighting for hie overthrow.—
Bat how does he make good his profession .of
love for hie country and abhoirence for its re
bellious foes ? Does he attach himself to what
is called the Democratic organization, and en
ter on a crusade against the - administration.?—
No ! Does he stand up in Democratic councils,
and demand that the traitors shall have guar
antied to them all the Constitutional rights be=
longing to, loyal men? "No ! Does bp howl
for the extension of slavery, and insist that, i
is a divine-institution; comprlsingwithin its or
ganization the elements of social 'good and
political safety ? No I And yet the'copperhead
leaders'of the free States insist that the Union
men of the south are all opposed to the policy
of the National Government to put - down
rebellion. But what do the facts prove?
They prove that, as soon a
,TTnion man of the
South can •relieve himself, from
• the tyranny
which has its fingers at the throats of all who
oppose its progress, he ranges himself on the
side of the - National Administration, he an
nounces his approval of all its acts, and makes
good his sincerity by joining in any struggle to
prevent what is called the Democratic party in
the North from achieving political power, be
causehe believes and declares that such a emcee s
would prove the triumph cf rebellion' all over
the country. In proof of this we point to only
three prominent men now before the people,
Gov. Andy Johnson, Parson Brownlow and Col.
Montgomery, editor of the Vicksburg Whig.
There are thousands of other perscinal instances
to illustrate the truth of-.what we assert in re
lation to the Union men of the Sopth, but the
three glorious patriots to whom we now allude,'
each occupying different positions- in life, each
mingling with different classes of the people of
the South, and all Democrats of - the Breckin
ridge school, but all lovers of their country,
will prove that the true Union men of the
South are the natural enemies of the copperhead
;treason sympathizing Democracy of the North:
We want the copperheads-to crack this ant,
taste its kernel-and then give us their opinion
of its flavor.

The Effect of the Speech of a Limb of the ti
OIL; (v: the great mistakes wt.wia} - Dung pro
f:s-ir,ua' man acahr., is the pre..umpt ioa which
they e7lnce, that a gilt of gab". a sign of genius,
and that uubody is endowed with the faculty
of speech but limbs of the law or pillars of
the church. Of course, when such as these
speak the truth, they glorify God and benefit
the country. But when the truth is sought to
be corrupted, when abuse is vainly made to
serve the place of argument and men stultify
themselves, the public are very apt to reject the
effort and the men, spewing up both with a sort
of nauseous disgust which the stomach feels at
the introduction of foul or indigestible matter.
This is being attested by a young limb of the
law in this city yclept Counseller J. B. Ewing.
Counsellor Ewing his- tindertaken the defence
of the rebellion,while he assumes mighty pow
er in advocating that stinking offal of the slave
pens, called." Democracy;" and as he is engaged
in this he deems himself most effective by the
measure of abuse which he can heap on loyal
men, the contumely with which he can treat
the friends of freedom. Indeed, so effective
has Counsellor Ewing become in his trade of
tradnotion, perversion and slander of all who
do not bow down to the slave power and admit
that the slave holders are right in their rebel
lion, that Democrats are actually becoming
converted to a hearty , support of what Coun
sellor Ewing
. thus publicly denounces. Two
Democrats called on us this morning to say
that Counsellor Ewing had thus effected a change
in their feeling and if the Gunmen& can
only be persuaded to prosecute his peregrina
tions over the coantY, we expect many more
at the mourner's bench of a true political re
pentance—a repentance Which will add to the
supporters of the loyal nominees in this coun
ty. But in the meantime, if the Counsellor is
not careful, he may have for his pains the loos
of the seat of his breeches, as there are loyal
men in this county who will not stand tamely
by to hear their country abused by saint or sin
ner. •
A. Democratic Paper on the Suspension
' the Habeas Corpus.
The Chicago Post thus rebukes the violent
and seditious raving of its copperhead cotempo
raries with reference to the suspension of the
habeas coipus:
• Some of our cotemporaries, we observe, with
greater zaal than judgment, are quite furious
in their denunciations of the President, as the
functionary 4 , h0 has done this thing. Are •
spected journal in the southern end of this State
accompanies the proclamation with the start
ling and altogether unpleasant announcement
that "another nail has been driven Into the
coffin of the nation's libertleit !" We respect
fully submit that if this Is so, the journal in
question has been rather dilatory in making
the discovery, as the act of Congreqa authorizing
the President to do what he has done was
passed some six months ago.
THE CANVASS FOR GOVERNOR.
A LETTER FROM MR. LEMURL TODD
Mr. Justice Woodiird 111 . k -fence of the Con
stitntionality of Secession,
Governor Curtin and the Union
MR. JUSTICE WOODWARD AND HIS 11301 NT LETTER
A REPLY PROM MR. TODD.
Zb the Editor of Press
Slat My attention has been called to a corres
pondence between E. E. Shapley, Esq., and
Judge WoodWird, in which I am reported, by
the foriner gentleman, to have said at apublic!
meeting that "he (Mr. Todd) had been informed
that a certain Judge Hall said that in a recent
conversation with him, yon (Judge Woodward)
had avowed yourself &believer in the doctrines
of secession, and in favor of animtnediate ra
cognition of the South."
My anawer to all:this is, that I never made
such a statement. Judge Hail is as nitwit un
known to Me, as he possibly can be to Judge .
Woodward and kcertainly never named hitn,*
or referred to him as an authority. If, •hoir
ever, it affords the parties . to that correspond-
once any pleasure to pnt up a man of straisitind
then knock him down'it have no objection; but
I det.most emphatically protest against being
misrepresented and falsified.
At the meeting .referred to, I contended that
Judge Woodward was a secessionist, and that I
pOuld-prove it by his published declarations,_
his political associations, and by the reports of
his conversations with individuals. I `then
quoted, from his speech of the 13th December;
1860, and showed that its sentiments never had
been changed; modified, or repented of. •
I referred to the conduct and platform of the
Convention which nominated him, as exhibit
ing bitter hostility .to the • Government, and
'evident sympathy with 'Gm:traitor Vallandlk,
tam, whoeeproolaimedfriendahip for the'rebtils
'and unmeasured deniiiiciation of the war were
widely known ; and alacrto the fact that Judge
Woodward's moat prominent supporters, and
the recognized leaders of the party, were Wil
liam B. Reed, 0. Ingerabli, Monk Hughes, and
others, who had distinguished themselves by
acts. of disloyalty, and made themselves infa
mous by treasonable propositions. I further
stated that I bad been informed, upon most
respectable authority, by citizens of my 'own
'town, that Judge Woodward, in a conversation
;with the Hon. H. B. Wright, had defended' the
bonatitutionalty of the doctrine of secession, and
denied the power and authority of the General '
Government to coerce a State into obedience to
its. obligations under the Constitution; that
Judge Hale had expressed himself as being
Shocked at the sentiments 4 evowed by Judge
Woodward in a conyetsatinn,on therthject; and
that Judge Loilit, who knew him intimately,
Whilst recently on a visit to Carlisle, had char
feterized Judge Woodward as a disciple of the
g74retne Calhoun etf4ool of politic:B,llnd by-far
a more dangerous man than Vallandlghani him
self.
From these .data X argued that Judge Wood
ward' was a Seeesslonist„ and unworthy the
support of loyal men, and that his.elevation to
office at this pealous crisis in our affairs. would
be most disastrous.
The public will judge whether a denial ex
touted at this late hour, under the pressure of
impending defeat and with the hope of 'ward
ing off,the just indignition of the loyal people.
of the State, will avail to counteract the just
and legitimate effect of opinions and principles
fienitofore published, and which Judge Wood-
ward does not, even now, disavow, and of asso
ciations with men whb are notoriously disloyal,
and practically In'active co-operation with the
enemies of the' Government.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
LEMUEL' TODD.
